Can't Hurt To Ask

[Riverkilt]

So I'm in St. George, Utah down in the SW corner of the state in the red cliffs country. I spot a Deseret Store (LDS/Mormon Thrift Store) its BIG...so figure just maybe there might be a tweed jacket in there. When I walked in I figure it can't hurt to ask so I ask the checkout clerk, "Do you have any men's kilts?" She lit up and said, "Wow, someone else was just in here a couple of days ago and asked me the same thing!"

So hey...is this a kilt fashion boom or what? - if kilties are checking out the LDS thrift store in St. George!?

Impressive...so did they?

This kiltie keeps an eye on the thrift stores in north Ga! Almost half of my kilts were found in them.

A bit of advice- look in the womens section. All the kilts I've found have been mixed in with dresses and skirts

That was me - just passing through- not, just kidding. But I was a beneficiary of Deseret Industries many times growing up in a single parent family in Salt Lake, I don't think I ever got any tweed though.

Well jeez Breeze...now I gotta go back tomorrow on my way out of town. Thanks for the tip. Guess its crazy to expect "normies" to know a man's kilt on sight.

You may have started a stampede to all the local thrifts.

There are a half dozen Deseret Industries within 20 miles of me I always poke around and look for Kilts but have never asked. I think I will have a friend of mine who manages one down in Provo keep a look out for me.

I live in a very "alternative" area of Sonoma County California and I've never seen a person in a kilt (other than myself) just going about their daily business, and my wife (who is a second hand fiend) has never run across a kilt in a thrift shop. I think that the US kilt fashion boom is starting in rural America and gradually, very gradually, working it's way out into the more populated areas--Seattle excepted, of course because of the UK.

I've found (commericially made) kilted skirts in thrift stores -- including wrapping the other direction. Not quite the same thing, of course, as a kilt...
